Shoulder pain and discomfort can greatly impact your daily life, hindering your ability to perform even the simplest tasks. If you’ve experienced a rotator cuff injury, you understand the frustration that comes with limited shoulder movement and persistent pain. At Thrive Spine & Sports Rehab, we specialize in providing comprehensive rotator cuff physical therapy to help you regain strength, mobility, and overall well-being.
Understanding Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and allowing a wide range of shoulder movement. Unfortunately, these muscles and tendons can become susceptible to injuries, especially among individuals who engage in repetitive overhead motions or suffer trauma to the shoulder area. Rotator cuff injuries can range from mild strains to severe tears, and they often result in pain, weakness, and limited range of motion.
